I have worked with Martin several years now through the Benchmarking exercises; I agree his passion and knowledge is top notch. It is unfortunate that he slipped through the cracks for Charter Membership, and it would be my honor to nominate him (but we just missed the 2012 charter elections). You can also nominate him, so, we are all to blame here; it happens, we have so many talented people in the community. My honest apologies to Martin, and others that feel this way; we appreciate your community involvement so much. -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
